Introduction Transportation corridors, as special economic have a greater impact on land cover and landscape pattern changes. Methods Therefore, 10 buffer zones were established at 1 km intervals both sides of the Longhai Railway centerline to trace railroad corridor use change regional cities along line from 1985 2020. Result The results show that: (1) changes during 35 years are mainly characterized by conversion between cropland, grassland, construction land. Compared with 1985, in 2020, increased 161.96%, grassland area decreased 11.83%, cropland 15.83%. (2) fragmentation patches vegetation coverage is negatively positively correlated zone distance, respectively. In same year, comprehensive land-use dynamic degree smaller it further away railway. nighttime light index significantly aggregation average patch area, closer railroad, higher (3) terms zoning, intensity eastern section than that western section, more agglomeration land, transportation has integrated motives this region. study can provide scientific basis for optimising spatial improving ecological environment cross-regional transport corridors.
